Demetrius:
(belonging to Ceres).
(1.) A maker of silver shrines of Artemis at Ephesus (Acts 19:24) (about A.D. 52). These were small models of the great temple of the Ephesian Artemis, with her statue, which it was customary to carry on journeys, and place on houses as charms.
(2.) A disciple (3 John 1:12) mentioned with commendation (about A.D. 90). Possibly the first Demetrius, converted; but this is very doubtful.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
